I'm a comic nerd who tries his best to live up to the resilience of powerful stories through a deep interest in biomimetic prosthetics and innovation that improves lives. I try to capture the best of moments through photography and occasionally blend my imagination into drawings. I adore martial arts and the gym as food for powerful thought. Originally from Queens, NY, I left the city that inspired my love for creativity and problem-solving to pursue global ideals in engineering. My interest in e-commerce and retail have pushed me towards cultivating sustainable business insights. I have used photography and digital editing to present products as vibrantly eye-catching. Playing with composition, lighting, saturation, etc. is a favorite hobby of mine that has proven valuable in the sales of goods. As a leader, I adapt with resilience when plans go off-script. Improvisation, collaboration, and empathy define how I navigate both creative and technical challenges. I am quite excited to possibly approach data collection and analysis, a fun read in any library, within a practical field. I believe in piecing data into solutions that are simple and effective, with creative proposals to the team when any problem is stubborn. I love the hands-on approach aspect of this role that aligns with my experience in digital modeling and interior layout planning. At Twine, I'm excited by the possibility of learning from a team driven by curiosity and pushing boundaries. Thank you for considering my application. I'd love the opportunity to contribute my perspective and grow alongside your team. Regardless of the outcome, I remain committed to building a future shaped by collaborative innovation. Sincerely, Ian Kim
